Hendry says the suspects targeted families in the midwest part of town,
where victims were sometimes tied up, even sexually assaulted.

While
investigators are staying mum on how the suspects were found, HPD says
they had brought a gun inside a convenience store at the time of their
arrests.

One suspect had a pistol inside the store, Hendry said,
while the other had left a gun inside their car. Two women were taken
into custody alongside the two men.

Inside the vehicle, police say there was plenty of evidence to prosecute the suspects.

Acevedo said he was not going to release the names of "these gangbangers," and wasn't going to give them notoriety.

Instead,
he said he was working in lockstep with Harris County District Attorney
Kim Ogg's office to clean up the streets of violent street gangs and
criminals.

"We know we have a real challenge in our city as it
relates to violent crime, violent robberies, and people being subjected
to sexual assaults," Acevedo said. "The city of Houston is no longer
going to tolerate this violent crime."

Acevedo said being a nosy neighbor will help the city combat crime, and repeated that if you see something, say something.
